Type: Notice
Date: 2012-05-30
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
Pursuant to section 6(f)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is publishing this Notice of Intent to Suspend affecting several pesticide products. This Notice is issued by EPA pursuant to section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA. The Notice of Intent to Suspend was issued following the Agency's issuance of a Data Call-In Notice (DCI), which required the registrants of the affected pesticide products to take appropriate steps to secure certain data, and following the registrant's failure to submit those data or to take other appropriate steps to secure the required data. The subject data were determined to be required to maintain in effect the existing registrations of the affected products. Failure to comply with the data requirements of a DCI is a basis for suspension of the affected registration under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA.
